New poll on the federal funding of embryonic stem cell research and human cloning which was "commissioned by the Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)" is out. Another poll, sponsored by the pro-embryonic stem cell group Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research was released earlier this month. The polls ask different questions in different ways and, not surprisingly, have different results.
